For medium and large-scale events, it would be necessary to hire additional manpower for various reasons. This comes as no surprise since many event-organising companies simply do not have the resources to pull off all the event preparations and logistics by themselves.

Staffing may be needed in the form of event staff, hostesses, exhibition staff, product sampling, event producers, event security, etc. Sometimes staffing may also be needed for specialised activities or to prepare entire venues, and this is why you should look for a staffing company with a diversified portfolio and with a proven track record to meet bespoke requirements.

At Eventscase, we have worked with various clients from different sectors over the last ten years. It has become common for us to hear about different suppliers for staffing, especially those that our clients recommend. We’ve had dealings with some of them personally when we have organised events ourselves.

Below is our list of the most recommended suppliers for staffing in the UK and Spain.
